DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES LEVEL 3
Status Optional
Prerequisites You must have completed a
minimum of 14 credits in
Technology at Level 2 or
evidence of other suitable
study pattern
Periods per week Five
Description
Project-based learning with two options that explore
areas of computer programming,web development,
robotics and design.
The first option has an emphasis on computer
programming and web development in preparation
for progression to a computer science course at
tertiary level. Assessment will be based around
a portfolio that will include documentation of
the design process that leads to the creation of a
digital media outcome. Students will be expected to
develop a range of skills in algorithmic expression
and software tools. An essential part of this course
is the planning and development of a computer
programme which performs a specified task and is
supported by electronic-based documentation.
The second option has an emphasis on robotics
and electronic environments in preparation for
progression to a science, electronic or engineering
based course at tertiary level. Assessment will
be based around a portfolio that will include
documentation of the design process that leads to
the creation of a digital media and physical device
outcome. Students will be expected to develop a
range of skills in robotics and basic electronics as
well as developmental tools such as PCB design
and drawing software and interface development.
An essential part of this course is the planning
and development of a device which performs a
specified task and is supported by electronic-based
documentation.
Assessment
A course of approximately 20 credits will be
offered based on the achievement standards
